“Bontoc Eulogy”, a film by Marlon Fuentes
A personal and poignant docudrama that examines the Filipino experience at the 1904 St. Louis World’s fair. The film focuses on the filmmaker’s grandfather, an Igorot warrior, one of the 1,100 tribal natives displayed as anthropological ‘specimens’ in the Philippine village exhibit.
